PHOENIX -- Steve Nash returned to his longtime home city of Phoenix for the second time as a Laker on Monday night, and on Wednesday he'll make an announcement that conveys his new commitment to Los Angeles.

Nash is scheduled to make the official announcement Wednesday with full details about the game -- which will raise money for the Steve Nash Foundation, helping underserved childen.

About playing Monday night in Phoenix, where his children still live, Nash said: "It's always special for me to come back here."

After the Lakers lost for the second time in two tries in Phoenix, where Nash twice was NBA MVP, Dwight Howard called it "disappointing. ... We wanted to win for Steve, but we still have an opportunity in front of us, and we have to put this game behind us."
